For both sockets, right? I'll debug this if yes.

I'm not seeing where this could be happening. I see this:
if (pp->fastreuse && sk->sk_reuse &&
sk->sk_state != SCTP_SS_LISTENING)
goto success;
Meaning that if the port allows reusing and so does the new socket, and
it's not in listening state, it would be allowed.

Can be.
